My mom is and always has been a bleeding heart liberal Democrat. That fact never seemed to have any significant impact on my upbringing or our relationship.

Today she called and in our chat she brought up the Capitol incursion.

I allowed as how I could understand their frustration and how it could lead them to what was a pretty pathetic and fruitless charge into the building & offices.

My mom seemed surprised and asked me why I understood their frustration; what frustration?
2/

I explained that they're among 70-80 million Americans frustrated at a fraudulent election.

Mom started crying.

I asked why she was crying and she said, between sobs, "I didn't know you were one of THEM."

"Them?" I asked.

"The people who believe the lies." she said.

She was sobbing and could hardly get a word out for quite a while. Eventually, she told me that she was so very sad that I was among those who have been so terribly mislead by the lies of Trump and his surrogates; that I could identify with those hostile criminals.

This is my mom, having been completely deluded by the commie MSM to believe that anyone who believes that there was any election malfeasance is a fool and a threat to our nation.

The MSM has tricked my mom into believing that the fraud is a lie,

that I am a threat.

These fucking commie bastards in the MSM are ripping this nation apart, pitting relations against one another, ALL AS A LIE!

They're demagoguing the clear, voluminous, obvious evidence that they never allowed to air on their networks

so they could convince America of A LIE.
6/

And now my own mother thinks her son is a potential terrorist and it's tearing her apart!

She's inconsolable.

THAT is what the fucking commie bastards are doing to this nation.

TO MY FAMILY.
